Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Servings: 18

Difficulty: Moderate

Recipe Ingredients:

5 c. spelt flour (not warm from grinding)

1 c. butter (or half coconut oil), chilled

2 T. honey

2 c. thin yogurt or kefir

5 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp salt (or less, depending on if you use salted butter)

2 1/4 tsp. yeast

Recipe Instructions:

Advance soaking step: cut butter and/or oil into flour, but be sure to leave some chunks. I used half coconut oil (chilled) but found it melted all over the pan while baking. It did make the bottoms rich and crispy, with almost a "fried" taste, though! Add in honey and yogurt, mixing until well moistened. Cover with a towel and let sit 7-12 hours. If the butter in the dough gets too soft, move the dough to the refrigerator to finish.

When ready to bake, fold in baking powder, baking soda, salt and yeast. If the dough gets too dry, you can add a splash of milk. Roll out to desired thickness, and place on baking sheet. Bake at 450 15 minutes, then if they are still not done, lower heat to 350 and bake another 5-7 minutes. Yummy!
